The common feeling respecting debt

hand, are represented as eXecrable
wretches, with hardness of heart that
would disgrace the eXecutioner. The
debtor may be an amiable and interest
ing person, for we often find these
characteristics united in him; but the
young must beware how they set down
debtors, as class, as purely estimable
and entitled to sympathy, while they
at the same time look upon creditors
as only ruthless prosecutors. Credit
ors are not invariably rich, as one
might suppose them to be. They arc
more frequently poor, industrious per-
sons, who. in losing money by their debt
ors, are apt to be made debtors them
selves, and thereby ruined. In fact the
case stands generally thus: An idle or
eXtravagant person procures the means
of gratifying his bad appetites. and is
enabled to show himself off as very
fine fellow at the expense of an honest
man, who confines himself constantly
to his business and denies himself al

AGAINST THE SALOON.
The Great Gain to the Temperance
Movement in This Country.


Movement in This Country.
The movement against the saloon
gathers strength as it proceeds.
Everywhere throughout the Union
North, East, West and South-the
people are rising in rebellion against
the rule of rum. Restrictive legisla-
ton in various forms, and constitu--
tional prohibition are the principal
lines along which the warfare pro-
ceeds. During the present season, the
legislatures of no less than twenty
one States have been called upon tc
consider the drink evil and take action
toward its suppression. In nearly
every one of these States, something
has been done to check the growth Of
the saloon and curtail its power
High-license laws, local option anG
prohibitory amendments are the or
der of the day. Never before in the
history of the Temperance cause
has the feeling against the liquor traffic
been so deep, so widespread, so ear
nest, so determined as now. That
most powerful of agencies, the public
press, has at last arraysd itself against
the traffic; many of the leading secu~
lar journals of the country have adopt
ed tone of bitter hostility to the grog-
shop, and are attacking it daily with
all the force and ability they have at
command. No stronger or more eff
fective arguments against the saloon
can be found anyw here than those put
forward in the editorial columns OF
some of the New York dailies. The
gain for Temperance in this direction
has been of the most significant and
promising character. Public men, too,
men of affairs, judges, statesmen,
political leaders, who have hitherto
held themselves aloof from the dis
cussion of Temperance, are now taking
sides in the conflict, and many OF
the ablest and best of them have
openly declared against "the business
OF manufacturing drunkards. The
lines are being more and more sharply
drawn every day between the adherents

peace, order and sobriety. The hour
is at hand when every man must make
a decision in this matter. And when
it comes to this issue everywhere we
can not doubt where the majority will
stand. The sentiment of the country
is overwhelming against continuance
of saloon domination. There can be
no installing this fact. The present
movement is not dependent upon a
wave of popular excitement; it is not
born of passing enthusiasm. 1t is
the outcome of years of wrong and suf-
fering induced by the cursed drink
traffic; it is a revolt of the people
against a power whose reign of out
rage, vice and crime has become too
terrible to be longer endured. Y.

In the coming struggle there is little
to hope from the Conservatives. Lord

threatened local compensation shodld

and even Harrington have already

Several months before, young man
named Robertson, tired and WORKOUT
looking, had applied for board at the
Pritchard farm, situated in a rough dis
trict of Kentucky. When told by the
widow that she could. not accommo-
date him, he replied: 81 want no ac-
commodations. Imerely want to stay
here a few days and fare as you do. "
His tone of voice was so appealing, and
his manners bespoke such gentlemanly
consideration, hat Mrs. Pritchard could
not refuse him, The few days length
ened into weeks, the weeks into
months, and still the young man
showed no disposition to leave the
place; and, it can also be said. the old
woman and her daughter exhibited no
desire to part with his company.
